Soul singer Erykah Badu is pregnant with her second child and, according to reports, rapper The D.O.C. is the babys father. Representatives for Universal/Motown confirmed the pregnancy, but wouldnt reveal if the legendary lyricist fathered baby or if he maintains a long-term relationship with Badu.

Badu already has a 6-year-old child, Seven, with Andre 3000 of OutKast. A lengthy relationship with rapper Common disintegrated for reasons unknown. The singer is currently on tour with Floetry.

As a ghostwriter, The D.O.C. helped establish two of hip-hops great dynasties, Eazy Es Ruthless Records and Dr. Dre and Suge Knights Death Row.

I’ve written a little bit for everybody, all of the players on all of my teams. Except for Cube, I never wrote for Cube. But all the players on my team, from ’87 til today, I’ve written for, D.O.C. told AllHipHop.com in a previous interview.

But before ghostwriting, he was a lyricist whose talents fully manifested themselves on 1989s No One Can Do It Better. The CD went on to exceed the platinum sales mark.

Shortly after his album was released, D.O.C. was in a tragic car crash that derailed his promising career. The accident, where he fell asleep at the wheel, crushed his voice-box causing his voice to permanently sound hoarse. He continued to perform skits and write for Death Row Records, providing a sound foundation for the hit making machine. He later released a second album, Helter Skelter, and in 2002, he dropped Deuce.

In 2002, D.O.C. jumpstarted Silverback Entertainment with featured rappers like 6Two, Uptight, Cadillac Seville The Mack, and El Dorado.
